nathanielbuildsatesseractLinks post is a little short this week because my subscription to the Daily Launch expired and I haven't been checking social media as much while I study for the GRE. Here are a few stories that made it through that filter.
APOD: Solar minimum is looking exceptionally passive this time around, with zero sunspots observed in the entire month of February. There may have been sunspots not visible from Terra and interplanetary probes, but in either case, Solar Cycle 24 is coming to a rather quiet close.
SpaceX: Crew Dragon successfully completes the uncrewed Demo-1 mission, landing safely in the Atlantic Ocean after departing from the International Space Station. This sets the stage for Demo-2 this summer, carrying NASA astronauts to orbit.
CSA: Canada details a new national space strategy, renewing their commitment to robotic space exploration and international partnerships for crewed flights.
